Chelsea Transfer News: Aston Villa interested in Tammy Abraham
According to transfer news from Mirror, Chelsea star Tammy Abraham is the subject of interest for Aston Villa. The academy graduate is said to be considering his options and an exit could just be on the cards with Villa, Leicester and West Ham after him.
The striker was again absent as the Blues managed to only get a draw against Brighton. It has become an all too familiar sight to see the academy graduate on the bench or absent from the squad in recent weeks. The last game was no different as Tammy could not even find himself in the matchday squad.
Abraham broke into the first-team last season under Frank Lampard and was a vital part of the side that finished fourth. With a transfer ban last season, Abraham made full use of the opportunities handed to him and went on to score 15 goals.
Villa, of course, are no strangers to Tammy Abraham. The Chelsea academy graduate spent the 2018-19 season at Villa Park and propelled the then Championship side to the Premier League with his goal-scoring exploits. It was that season at Villa that pushed him into the fray for a starting spot at Chelsea for the following season.

There is obviously no shortage of suitors for the English striker as Aston Villa, Leicester City and West Ham have shown interest. All three clubs are looking to add a forward to their ranks. Tuchel has often cited his ankle injury as the reason for not playing but with the striker being on the bench on several occasions and not being used, it does look like Tammy will have to consider his future at the club.
